Horseback Riding - Who's with me?

One of my favorite memories from my own childhood is horseback riding in the mountains (thank you Camp Montvale). I would really like to do this with my kids. Who else is interested? I haven't called for prices or age limits yet but I have a short list of places that are very close and I think it will be fun. The Cades Cove horse rental brochure states that children 6 and over are allowed to ride alone.
